Looks like you had a great session John, love the Wrasse fishing never been to that spot if you could help with directions mate keep them Videos coming

I love your videos very entertaining Christ it's beautiful north Wales for a fact ,you get to some cracking locations fellas ,a can't believe the tide race in the menai straits unbelievable , anyway apart from your success what an evening to be out somewhere special like the breakwater even if there's not much doing , beautiful time of day keep it up fellas brilliant 👍

Hi mate, love your vids! 👍 my new daily watch :) im from west Yorkshire mate and have had some huge ballan wrasse from Flamborough head, its really rough, rocky outcrops and stacks, drops of really deep and is perfect wrasse and conger habitat! 👌 theres a path down the cliffside to the mark, there were some ladders but they were all broke, like you always say never go to marks like that alone! But all the hardest spots to get to are usually the best! 👍😆😉 you get nice bass there too and iv had some massive cod from there at night, you should do a night video there, and spurn point too is some awesome beach fishing. Im a piker but like catching those big tench and carp on waggler in spring n summer, dont do as much sea fishing lately but watching your vids has got me itching to get back out there in that sea air watching rod bend over! 👌 love how you show the bite developing its exactly what i would do! Love it! 👌 keep um coming buddy and ill be watching to see if you get that donkey of a wrasse mate! 👍 tight lines buddy

Nice video John keep them coming

Looks lovely where you are fishing big man...I'm trying watch the float and the tip at the same time....once a fisherman always a fisherman, ha ha....nice when the 🌞 ☀️ is shining...you cannot beat it.

Another really good vid. I usually fish the elbow as a fair chuck puts you into deeper cleaner ground

Ravens point on trearddur used to be great for big wrasse, we would catch them from 1lb to around 5 quite frequently whilst waiting for congers. Whether it still fishes like that any more... Also with congers, I've noticed short hook lengths work better. I also found smaller congers used to take it much more violently with the bigger ones taking it nice and steady. Keep it up 👍

That rod bends a lot I would switch to a uptide rod and braid mainline mate if targeting congers awsome mark loved it m8

HOLYHEAD BREAKWATER remember it well you ever looked in those rooms in the walls in there lives these big what look like woodlice with long feelers great wrasse bait

Hey John try fishing off penmaenmawr beach park at the car park next to the bridge and walk along... when you come to the wall go down there and fish... there is some lovely thornback rays around there and the odd conger at the moment.... if you ever need some drone foot give us a shout 😊

Nice video I miss fishing off there . Had some conga further round next bend straight down wall, used single hook with a smaller chunk makky than youve used there dude. Seems few years ago the quantity of fish had decreased alot 😣 good luck next time

Rass fishing is great fun when you hook a good one we used to catch them down in Torquay at a place called Long quarry point.. real good ones down there

Dude, Some advice about Wrasse follows.... (nice video by the way). The main mistake you're making with wrasse is you are fishing at a very tame location, so only catching the mini species (cos they like it tame) and you are using mini end-tackle appropriate for the mini species. These species are Rock-Cook wrasse, Corkwing wrasse, and Goldsinny wrasse. To get those big-bois ur after, you need to target Ballan wrasse.The fish you had at timestamp 14:30 was a Ballan but was only a teenage juvenile, present here because they seek calmer environments to grow up in, then they move out and seek a wilder home as adults. The record I think is over 8lb! But a 2lb or 3lb fish is well within possibilities! I fished Cornwall for them in my younger days and I know Wales has some big-bad-bois too. They typically live in rougher environments like wild coast rock gullies and rock outcrops, and you need to use heavier tackle. That size float is fine but you probably want to upscale the hook to a size 1, 1/0, or maybe even a 2/0 for the real big'uns, strong J- hook, and a heavy-ish rubbing leader cos they can fight hard on light tackle and take you into some snags, and have strong biting/crushing teeth. Ballan wrasse are not a timid fish they are territorial and defend their patch with aggression so a bit of float-resistance and a pointy hook doesn't worry them too much. As I said, strong biting/crishing teeth. Ragworm is a good bait for them but you can target some bigger badder bois with whole (de-shelled) limpet as bait (or other local shellfish). My best ballan wrasse have been taken on limpet bait.They graze on the shellfish which live on the rocks, biting through the shells, it's their fave food. Match the bait to the location. In Cornwall, limpets were everywhere, so they were a winner for ballans, not sure about North Wales for limpet populations, but any and all local shellfish should produce fish on a hook. Main take-away message - seek rocky and rough ground.

I fished on Swanage pier many years ago and one angler was using the small wrasse I caught as bait for conger.

Beautiful there buddy

probably a sunfish that was swimming past , seen them there before. rocky coast behind the breakwater is top for wrasse but be careful with tides and swell. tight lines mate.

Hi Johnny Boi, great video mate. Do you fish your reel line straight through to the hook on your float rig mate. Cheers DaveO 👍🏻 🍻

If you fish the jagged rocks on the other side of the breakwater just the other side of the small bay using limpits off the rocks as bait you will catch wrasse 8-12 inches long all day. I fished it years ago and couldnt miss.

Would definitely recommend trearddur Bay for some big wrasse! Ravens point, or the rock mark just passed mackerel point! Tight lines 🎣

Looks like a great place but I never chuck and chance fish anymore takes up too much time! Off stalking seatrout for an hour know!👍🏴‍☠️

Try flag pole at truardder bay, had a few to 3lb plus

A great mark for large Wrasse is Llanbadrig, behind the Church, down the steep rock climb to the rock platform. It's very deep as it's a sheer drop off into 40-50ft. Use your beach caster (caus you need to bully them) with a simple lead at the bottom and a dropper 3ft above. And just drop it down a few feet out and keep your rod in your hands.

Good video mate ain't fished the breakwater in about 8 yrs had some great nights there. Can you still not drive along it? Thanks

Get some peeler crabs on the smoothies love it

It's that bass you had over the other side 🤣

You need a weekend dawn at portland fishing for the bigger wrasse

Super.... 👍👍👍👍👍

I'll be heading up to breakwater on the 20th of this month night fishing maybe I'll see you there mate

Have you guys tried wylga head or the out flow beside the power station, all sorts of fish off the head, in the out flow mullet and bass. , floating with rag for the mullet is best, tight lines guys

Where you fishing this weekend John I’m Driving down from burnley for a do somewhere first time

Used to fish anglsey for wrasse as people have said rough ground holds the bigger wrasse I have only had them to 3lb but I'm sure they grow bigger my favitite spot was point lynas on the left of the point a bit of climb down but worth it

After been fishing for many years .. I've used ox diced heart from Morrisons. And caught many a fish 🐠

You want 2ft traces max for congering defo.

BELL!!!. Nooooooo!! .. but if you Really have to - take it Off before you start reeling in. Seen many a punch up on Blackpool Pier caused by muppets with bells. BTW. For Big wrasse use small hardback crabs for bait👍

A wrass is our grouper!

For huge wrasse the rocks at Trefor pier

John is your accent Worcestershire.. I’m from Worcestershire and it seems familiar to me 🌞🍐🍐🍐

The breakwater is easy to fish,the problem is,the fish are few and far between.

One time would you do the walk between Porth Dafach and the breakwater and fish some remote spots along those cliffs? You will catch so many fish especially your big wrass! I was too lazy to do the hike back in the day!

Try live shrimp on the foat

Sea lions get there

that thing moving across the water was a russian sub. lol

Crabs hiding from something.

OTTER MAYBE ?

Penmon quarry or white beach for good wrasse

You need to be up past second bend

You wanna put small them small wrasse on live had bass up 2 13lb

Probably an otter

Why don.t u try live wrasse pouting or mackeral for nother big bass

Love your videos but when a carpet you would venues wither best chance o b outside of Cornwall yns mon & llewyn best for 5lb ÷ Cheers Colin , N Wales

Otter I'd say

Sea otter.

Mega mate 👍
